The Pilkada held in 2020 was very different <br />from the previous Pilkada because it was threatened by the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. <br />Therefore, it is interesting to assess the quality of the Pilkada in Indragiri Hulu Regency during this <br />pandemic. This study uses a qualitative approach with sources of information from research <br />informants, documents, research journals, audio-visual materials, and data from online media. The <br />data collected is then analyzed qualitatively by using the theory of the quality of elections and <br />democracy. The results of the study show that the 2020 Regional Head Elections in Indragiri Hulu <br />have not been carried out freely and fairly, there are still money politics practices, violations of health <br />protocol rules which are important policies in the Pilkada during the pandemic. However, on the <br />other hand, there are still positive results in the implementation of the Indragiri Hulu Pilkada, namely <br />increasing the political participation of the community in exercising their voting rights. Based on <br />these findings, it is concluded that the quality of the Pilkada in Indragiri Hulu Regency is still low and <br />does not meet the principles of quality and integrity elections.</p> ER -
